Hi my name is Rebecca Taxmen and I'm with Chess NYC. I'm going to talk to you today about the three principles to opening strategy. So when we get to the game we're always like, 'Uh, what do I do? There's so many pieces. I don't know how to start." Well I'm going to give you three steps that are going to help you create a strong, confident opening.
First thing that we need to understand is these four center squares. These are considered a super square because this is where the center of the board is, the control center. For example, if I have my knight in the center of the board, my knight can control up to eight different squares, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8. We can see that this is a very strong place for my knight. If I have my knight on the side of the board it can only control up to four squares, 1, 2, 3, 4.
Therefore, my knight is stronger in the center whereas most pieces are stronger in the center of the board. So at the beginning of the game you want to think about center control. First thing we can try and do is get our pawns into the center. Very important to try to get our pawns to control the center. The next important step that we want to focus on is piece development.
Now I like to think about my pieces as they are working for me. I want to give my pieces a job. If they're sitting back here they're not happy and they're not doing anything. So my next step is to bring my pieces out and have them working for me. Usually we bring out the knights before the bishops. So I can bring my knight to F-3 and my other knight to C-3 and then I'm bringing them towards the center. Notice how I did not bring my knight to H-3, that would not be a good choice. Towards the center.
Next, I want to bring my bishops out, again towards the center controlling the center squares. The next step that we always want to consider is king safety, very important. I like to consider the king like a baby. The reason I consider the king a baby is because we always want to protect our babies just like we always want to protect our king. Therefore, the best way to protect your king at the beginning of the game is to castle. Now we have two places, two ways that we can castle. You can either castle on the king's side or on the queen's side.
Right away I can see that I can castle on the king's side. To castle I move my king two spaces and then bring my rook to the other side and now my king is stuck behind a little fortress or, to keep with the theme of a baby, a crib and it is protected and safe. Just to review, the three important principles are controlling the center, piece development, and king safety. Those are the three things that we can do at the beginning of the game to go into the middle game confidently.

How good would you be if you had Anatoly Karpov teaching you the secrets of the RussianSchool of chess? Now you can in his brilliant 4.5 hour series recorded with Roman Dzindzichasvili! Get instant access AND a 35% discount here ► https://ichs.co/2zlajGc
A classic problem 🤔 for beginners is how to conduct the chess opening. You can’t be expected to memorize tens of thousands of lines just so you get to the middlegame alive and avoid all the chess opening tricks. But you can sidestep chess opening traps and get a great position with a sound chess opening strategy built on the major chess opening principles.
And you won’t get many better teachers than the 12th World Champion Anatoly Karpov and “supercoach” GM Roman Dzindzichashvili! Karpov was World Champion for 10 years after the Fischer vs Karpov match that never was. Anatoly Karpov also has the most elite tournaments wins of all time and continued to challenge the next generation with the Anatoly Karpov vs Magnus Carlsen game.
For Anatoly Karpov chess is “everything: art, science and sport” and it’s this all-encompassing thinking that leads to his pure, effective approach to playing chess.
In this chapter from their “Opening Fundamentals”, Anatoly Karpov and Roman Dzindzi break down the basics of playing chess openings for beginners, specifically examining main lines in the Ruy Lopez opening and Scotch Opening.
Whether your aim is to become a chess opening pro or just score the occasional chess opening quick win, Karpov’s chess opening strategy will have you making rapid improvement. And Roman Dzindzichashvili’s chess philosophy is “if you can’t explain it, you don’t really understand it” which is why he loves teaching chess so much: he helps himself improve as well as his students!
GMs Karpov and Dzindzichashvili emphasize controlling the center squares (e4, d4, e5, d5) and active development of minor pieces in the opening, while being careful not to make too many pawn moves. Karpov's incredibly deep understanding of chess combined with GM Dzindzichashvili's vast experience in chess coaching makes the "Russian School of Chess" a truly unforgettable chess training experience.

Chess

Chess is a two-player board game played on a chessboard, a checkered gameboard with 64squares arranged in an eight-by-eight grid. Chess is played by millions of people worldwide, both amateurs and professionals.

Each player begins the game with 16 pieces: one king, one queen, two rooks, two knights, two bishops, and eight pawns. Each of the six piece types moves differently. The most powerful piece is the queen and the least powerful piece is the pawn. The objective is to 'checkmate' the opponent's king by placing it under an inescapable threat of capture. To this end, a player's pieces are used to attack and capture the opponent's pieces, while supporting their own. In addition to checkmate, the game can be won by voluntary resignation by the opponent, which typically occurs when too much material is lost, or if checkmate appears unavoidable. A game may also result in a draw in several ways.

Chess is believed to have originated in India, some time before the 7th century; the Indian game of chaturanga is also the likely ancestor of xiangqi and shogi. The pieces took on their current powers in Spain in the late 15th century; the rules were finally standardized in the 19th century.

Chess opening

A chess opening is the group of initial moves of a chessgame. Recognized sequences of initial moves are referred to as openings by White, or defenses by Black, but opening is also used as the general term. There are many dozens of different openings, and hundreds of named variants. The Oxford Companion to Chess lists 1,327 named openings and variants. These vary widely in character from quiet positional play to wild tactical play. In addition to referring to specific move sequences, the opening is the first phase of a chess game, the other phases being the middlegame and the endgame.

A sequence of opening moves that is considered standard (often catalogued in a reference work such as the Encyclopaedia of Chess Openings) is referred to as "the book moves", or simply "book". These reference works often present these move sequences in simple algebraic notation, opening trees, or theory tables. When a game begins to deviate from known opening theory, the players are said to be "out of book". In some opening lines, the moves considered best for both sides have been worked out for twenty to twenty-five moves or more. Some analysis goes to thirty or thirty-five moves, as in the classical King's Indian Defense and in the Sveshnikov and Najdorf variations of the Sicilian Defense. Professional chess players spend years studying openings, and continue doing so throughout their careers, as opening theory continues to evolve. Players at the club level also study openings but the importance of the opening phase is smaller there since games are rarely decided in the opening. The study of openings can become unbalanced if it is to the exclusion of tactical training and middlegame and endgame strategy.

Varuzhan Akobian

Varuzhan Akobian (born November 19, 1983 in Yerevan, Armenia) is an Armenian-born American chessgrandmaster. Originally from Armenia, he now resides in Los Angeles. He played on the bronze-medal-winning U.S. team in the 2006 and 2008 Chess Olympiads.

Hi my name is Rebecca Taxmen and I'm with Chess NYC. I'm going to talk to you today about the three principles to opening strategy. So when we get to the game we're always like, 'Uh, what do I do? There's so many pieces. I don't know how to start." Well I'm going to give you three steps that are going to help you create a strong, confident opening.
First thing that we need to understand is these four center squares. These are considered a super square because this is where the center of the board is, the control center. For example, if I have my knight in the center of the board, my knight can control up to eight different squares, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8. We can see that this is a very strong place for my knight. If I have my knight on the side of the board it can only control up to four squares, 1, 2, 3, 4.
Therefore, my knight is stronger in the center whereas most pieces are stronger in the center of the board. So at the beginning of the game you want to think about center control. First thing we can try and do is get our pawns into the center. Very important to try to get our pawns to control the center. The next important step that we want to focus on is piece development.
Now I like to think about my pieces as they are working for me. I want to give my pieces a job. If they're sitting back here they're not happy and they're not doing anything. So my next step is to bring my pieces out and have them working for me. Usually we bring out the knights before the bishops. So I can bring my knight to F-3 and my other knight to C-3 and then I'm bringing them towards the center. Notice how I did not bring my knight to H-3, that would not be a good choice. Towards the center.
Next, I want to bring my bishops out, again towards the center controlling the center squares. The next step that we always want to consider is king safety, very important. I like to consider the king like a baby. The reason I consider the king a baby is because we always want to protect our babies just like we always want to protect our king. Therefore, the best way to protect your king at the beginning of the game is to castle. Now we have two places, two ways that we can castle. You can either castle on the king's side or on the queen's side.
Right away I can see that I can castle on the king's side. To castle I move my king two spaces and then bring my rook to the other side and now my king is stuck behind a little fortress or, to keep with the theme of a baby, a crib and it is protected and safe. Just to review, the three important principles are controlling the center, piece development, and king safety. Those are the three things that we can do at the beginning of the game to go into the middle game confidently.

How good would you be if you had Anatoly Karpov teaching you the secrets of the RussianSchool of chess? Now you can in his brilliant 4.5 hour series recorded with Roman Dzindzichasvili! Get instant access AND a 35% discount here ► https://ichs.co/2zlajGc
A classic problem 🤔 for beginners is how to conduct the chess opening. You can’t be expected to memorize tens of thousands of lines just so you get to the middlegame alive and avoid all the chess opening tricks. But you can sidestep chess opening traps and get a great position with a sound chess opening strategy built on the major chess opening principles.
And you won’t get many better teachers than the 12th World Champion Anatoly Karpov and “supercoach” GM Roman Dzindzichashvili! Karpov was World Champion for 10 years after the Fischer vs Karpov match that never was. Anatoly Karpov also has the most elite tournaments wins of all time and continued to challenge the next generation with the Anatoly Karpov vs Magnus Carlsen game.
For Anatoly Karpov chess is “everything: art, science and sport” and it’s this all-encompassing thinking that leads to his pure, effective approach to playing chess.
In this chapter from their “Opening Fundamentals”, Anatoly Karpov and Roman Dzindzi break down the basics of playing chess openings for beginners, specifically examining main lines in the Ruy Lopez opening and Scotch Opening.
Whether your aim is to become a chess opening pro or just score the occasional chess opening quick win, Karpov’s chess opening strategy will have you making rapid improvement. And Roman Dzindzichashvili’s chess philosophy is “if you can’t explain it, you don’t really understand it” which is why he loves teaching chess so much: he helps himself improve as well as his students!
GMs Karpov and Dzindzichashvili emphasize controlling the center squares (e4, d4, e5, d5) and active development of minor pieces in the opening, while being careful not to make too many pawn moves. Karpov's incredibly deep understanding of chess combined with GM Dzindzichashvili's vast experience in chess coaching makes the "Russian School of Chess" a truly unforgettable chess training experience.

First thing that we need to understand is these four center squares. These are considered a super square because this is where the center of the board is, the control center. For example, if I have my knight in the center of the board, my knight can control up to eight different squares, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8. We can see that this is a very strong place for my knight. If I have my knight on the side of the board it can only control up to four squares, 1, 2, 3, 4.
Therefore, my knight is stronger in the center whereas most pieces are stronger in the center of the board. So at the beginning of the game you want to think about center control. First thing we can try and do is get our pawns into the center. Very important to try to get our pawns to control the center. The next important step that we want to focus on is piece development.
Now I like to think about my pieces as they are working for me. I want to give my pieces a job. If they're sitting back here they're not happy and they're not doing anything. So my next step is to bring my pieces out and have them working for me. Usually we bring out the knights before the bishops. So I can bring my knight to F-3 and my other knight to C-3 and then I'm bringing them towards the center. Notice how I did not bring my knight to H-3, that would not be a good choice. Towards the center.
Next, I want to bring my bishops out, again towards the center controlling the center squares. The next step that we always want to consider is king safety, very important. I like to consider the king like a baby. The reason I consider the king a baby is because we always want to protect our babies just like we always want to protect our king. Therefore, the best way to protect your king at the beginning of the game is to castle. Now we have two places, two ways that we can castle. You can either castle on the king's side or on the queen's side.
Right away I can see that I can castle on the king's side. To castle I move my king two spaces and then bring my rook to the other side and now my king is stuck behind a little fortress or, to keep with the theme of a baby, a crib and it is protected and safe. Just to review, the three important principles are controlling the center, piece development, and king safety. Those are the three things that we can do at the beginning of the game to go into the middle game confidently.

A classic problem 🤔 for beginners is how to conduct the chess opening. You can’t be expected to memorize tens of thousands of lines just so you get to the middlegame alive and avoid all the chess opening tricks. But you can sidestep chess opening traps and get a great position with a sound chess opening strategy built on the major chess opening principles.
And you won’t get many better teachers than the 12th World Champion Anatoly Karpov and “supercoach” GM Roman Dzindzichashvili! Karpov was World Champion for 10 years after the Fischer vs Karpov match that never was. Anatoly Karpov also has the most elite tournaments wins of all time and continued to challenge the next generation with the Anatoly Karpov vs Magnus Carlsen game.
For Anatoly Karpov chess is “everything: art, science and sport” and it’s this all-encompassing thinking that leads to his pure, effective approach to playing chess.
In this chapter from their “Opening Fundamentals”, Anatoly Karpov and Roman Dzindzi break down the basics of playing chess openings for beginners, specifically examining main lines in the Ruy Lopez opening and Scotch Opening.
Whether your aim is to become a chess opening pro or just score the occasional chess opening quick win, Karpov’s chess opening strategy will have you making rapid improvement. And Roman Dzindzichashvili’s chess philosophy is “if you can’t explain it, you don’t really understand it” which is why he loves teaching chess so much: he helps himself improve as well as his students!
GMs Karpov and Dzindzichashvili emphasize controlling the center squares (e4, d4, e5, d5) and active development of minor pieces in the opening, while being careful not to make too many pawn moves. Karpov's incredibly deep understanding of chess combined with GM Dzindzichashvili's vast experience in chess coaching makes the "Russian School of Chess" a truly unforgettable chess training experience.
